Band Saw Blades

I needed band saw blades so I used Auto Sense search and came up with Raptor cutting tools. I gave them the size and they shipped overnight. You can search in Plaxo using saw and the info will come up.

February Staff Meeting

Please mark your calendars now that the February staff meeting will be on Tuesday, February 15th at Pete's Paint.

Tweek on Security

Since opening the ugly issue of yearly review on security settings, etc ... a few things have changed. One IMPORTANT issue I am reminded of ---NEVER ASSUME that Key staff see what I see ... taking with some -- pushing for more understanding on how to write up new parts and make changes that effect all stores ( like a part that is booming -- make sure all stores in our group stock ) .... and guess what ...the settings needed some tweaking ... here is a small change .... the level 2 security ( typical key staff on counter ) now see JUST the Creator/Editor and do NOT SEE the Mass Update option in INVENTORY>>MULTI-STORE ... gee ...even I dislike looking at the mass update tool -- need much more training on that puppy ( hey - GPI --where is the ONGOING training for this system ?? )

Been told that this change applied EARLY to our stores -- will change to all stores everywhere on next security update .... yours might not have changed yet -check in a week ( month? )

======== Additional Change we have requested -- we would like for level 2 staff to at least see ( if not change ) the PN Codes in VENDOR>>LINES>> We are starting to use different PN codes to move CRAP part numbers in the various X lines ( since this system can NOT delete old crap parts out of system -- at least not yet or in the foreseeable future
